Building IceCat for MIPS might be difficult, it would probably need some
patches from IceWeasel.

This needs backporting/upporting a patch for xserver
(e.g.
https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/abslibre-mips64el.git/tree/extra/xorg-server/loongson.patch
based on
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-October/026249.html).

2.6.38.2 and newer have rtl8187 driver (not rtl8187b) working with the
device in YeeLoongs (but it makes a different MAC address). What
doesn't work?
